Properties
The Somerset Woods Trustees owns 23 holdings comprising about 842 acres in Somerset County, Maine. They are located in Canaan, Cornville, Madison, Embden, Skowhegan, and Starks, and range in size from 1.4 to 304 acres. Thirteen of these properties have frontage on the Kennebec River or a major tributary. The largest holding is Coburn Woods, which overlooks the Skowhegan urban area. The smallest is a parcel on the east side of Lake George in Canaan. Whether large or small, all of the holdings have value to the public.
The Somerset Woods Trustees also holds conservation easements on eight properties totaling about 643 acres. As do the properties owned in fee, these easements conserve forestland, fields, wetlands, wildlife habitat, shorelines, and scenic and cultural resources for public benefit while still allowing appropriate activities. However, unlike the properties owned in fee, the locations of conservation easement properties are not shown on maps as these are privately owned and generally open to the public only by landowner permission.
